LOUD Squeak/Chirp From Rear suspension going over bumps at slow speeds
OK let's start out first and give you some background to forego undo redundant answers.
2000 Discovery 2 4.0L 196K
purchased for 500$ and I have rebuilt from pretty much ground up myself during covid. At this point it would take forever to go into detail ALL the systems that have been repaired/Replaced/Restored, but suffice to say EVERY SYSTEM is practically new.
Last 3K miles I have rebuilt engine completely, tune-up flush of transmission, New radiator Heater core, complete new brake system with slotted rotors, pads, calipers, steel brake lines, and I can go on and on...... But the main issue is this. After EVERYTHING I have done, im am finally ready to take to Paint&Body except one NERVE wracking try as I might issue.
Steering and Suspension rebuild thus far
2" Terra Firma Lift kit from Atlantic British)
ALL NEW:
Shocks/Srings/mounts
Front Dampener
Tie Rod/Panhard Rod/Sway Bar/Quick Disconnect SB Links
Hubs Front/Rear
Ball Joints
Shock Towers
Wheels, Tires etc.
I can't remember what else, ask but I have most likely changed it.
I still for the LIFE of me can not figure out what this Very annoying and loud "Chirp" coming from the rear when I go over speed bumps, small pot holes, even the 1.5" tiny bump coming out of my drive. I need to be going a 5mph or more to make it really loud but I can still hear it even creeping. can anyone help???? I am about to pull my hair out.
And note; I have not changed the bushings as when I was up on the lift I inspected (removed and really inspected) the controls arm, say bar eat. bushings and there is no play, cracks or damaged noted anywhere. Id rather not sink money into having a shop do these and I just don't have a press. again im pretty mechanical as I have done everything myself. PLEASE ANY HELP or IDEAS would be greatly appreciated. I have SCOURED the forums for any ideas for more than a year(this is how I learned almost everything for the rebuild....and the RAVE of course).
Thanks in advance
